‘La Barbie’ back in action

Former WBC flyweight champion Mariana Juarez (35-6-3, 16 KOs), who held her crown for over three years and made 14 defenses before losing the belt to Ava Knight in October returns on Saturday night at the Arena Coliseo in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. The 32-year-old Juarez, who has recently appeared in the Mexican edition of Playboy magazine, will begin her comeback against former WBA super flyweight champion Tenkai Tsunami (18-5, 7 KOs), who held that belt from 2009 to 2012, defending the title four times.
